Perhaps it’s a personal view, but I’ve always preferred a CM with an athletic tackler or two to protect the CB’s. I know many others here said the same last July/Aug. The player might have other parts to their game too.
Gilmour will never have the pace or power to fulfil that role, Bundesliga...
That was West Ham at the Amex, he spent the first half 80 yards upfield, allowing a hitherto sh1t Hammers look like ManC/LFC on the counter.
It was so obvious, wasn’t sure if it was dumb tactics on repeat or he ignored team orders?
The world player’s organisation said that after the Qatar WC.
The problem is that cheating to run the clock down got out of control. Viila, Fulham and others last season a disgrace.
It’s now drifted slightly, others spotting the Estupinan bad news?
On Betfair Exchange, then EPL games > at the bottom More EPL > then All Markets and you’ll see lots of season outrights.
I think his game has altered. To me he was a far, far better defender than Cuckoo. Pace to burn, a destroyer eg at Bmuff away last season when they upped their game 0-1 behind. Whilst also being brilliant on the counter or counter-press (who cares here), popping up in the Chelsea box during...
I gave him a high player rating on the afternoon, as I'm a sucker for getting swept away with an Albion win.
Later realising he'd been shit at FB, but very effective in CM second half. Falling for the recency trap too.
In the cool light of day analysts/writers looking back on Wolves say they should've put the game to bed. We (thankfully, as it's often happened to us) were the classic muggers.
Luton at home - from under the Amex police/security box first half their irritatingly quality forwards had Milner on...
I said in the summer that Chelsea and Spuds will gain as a one off hugely from a week's prep/rest for most PL games. I bet rarely, but some interesting odds just now, @LamieRobertson should take a look.
Double your money on Albion not making top 6.
16/1 Spuds win title
150/ Chelsea win title...
A surprising large number of NSC'ers over the summer were emphatic that we didn't need any more fullbacks :facepalm:.
That looked so wrong. Beyond Veltman and Estupinan there was no one else with real quality, at that stage Lamptey several seasons out of form.
